REPUBLICAN PLATFORM ADOPTED.
1st. We are in favor of protec-
tive tariff to secure American citi-
Zens the privilege of supplying
every article which can he produced
las well in the United States as in
lcountries and sufficiently to supply
American wants. Such tariff makes
a demand for and gives employ
ment to the labor of American citi.
zens and thereby aids in securing
lust compensation for labor. We
/ denounce this Ohio Democratic
platform of tariff for revenue only
and which demands indiscriminatt
reduction in all duties on imported
articles the effect of which would be
to encourage importations, thus
giving American patronage to for
eign producers, and foreign labor
rather than our own.

public policy under which oul
country has received from Europ,
by great, bodies OF honest industri
Gus citizens. who have added to tht
wealth, progress and power of ouI
country, and while we welcome t;
our stores the well disposed and in
dustrious emigrant who contributes

| with disfavorthe unrestricted enigr;
ton from foreign lands as dangerou
ito the peace ami good order of tn
country, and the integrity ant
charter of its citizenship. We urg
i Congress to pass such laws and es
.ablish such regulations as shal
protect us from the inroads of an

dependent paupers, vicious an
